The Centre for Social Responsibility in Mining at The University of Queensland (UQ), and the Harvard Kennedy School have published new research that has uncovered the true scale of the costs companies incur when they come into conflict with local communities.
The research interviewed professionals in the mining, oil and gas industries and examined case studies of extraction projects worldwide to quantify the costs of company-community conflict, and understand how companies interpret these costs.
